The ESPN Deportes-backed organization today announced its premiere event will take place at the Hard Rock Live arena at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

The organization will launch three of its four eight-man tournaments at the event, and featured opening-round matchups include lightweights Eddie Alvarez (16-2) vs. Daniel Morales (5-1) and Jorge Masvidal (16-3) vs. Diego Garijo (3-1).

Beginning with the April 3 event and running for 12 weeks, the Bellator shows will be held in the venues across the country on Friday nights. The events will then air on a one-day delay on ESPN Deportes in two-hour Saturday-night timeslots.

The organization is hosting eight-man tournaments in the featherweight, lightweight, welterweight and middleweight divisions, though the initial show won’t include any welterweight opening-round fights.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
